Durban City FC's 2025/26 Betway Premiership campaign concluded with a tense 0-1 loss to AmaZulu at the Chatsworth Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The defeat came courtesy of Nkosikhona Radebe's late effort, which secured AmaZulu's fourth position on the log. Despite the loss, Durban City FC managed to secure the coveted eighth position by two points, following ninth-placed Stellenbosch's 0-0 draw with Marumo Gallants. The game commenced at a timid pace, with neither side creating any goal-scoring opportunities inside the first 10 minutes. Siphamandla Ncanana tested the AmaZulu goalkeeper with a shot from the centre of the box, while Luphumlo Sifumba came close to giving Durban City FC the lead in the 26th minute. AmaZulu kicked into gear after the half-hour mark, with attempts by Athini Maqokola and Sphamandla Zikhali going wide of the mark. Durban City FC took the game to their counterparts early in the second half, with Thabo Nodada calling Richard Ofori into action with a right-footed shot inside the area. The pace of the game slowed down after the hour-mark, with neither side finding any luck going forward. Usuthu opened the scoring 10 minutes from time through Radebe, following a fast break toward the Durban City FC box. Durban City FC came agonisingly close to scoring an equalizer deep into stoppage time after Siphamandla Ncanana's headed attempt went narrowly wide. The final score was 0-1 in favor of AmaZulu, with Radebe's goal proving to be the difference. Durban City FC's Asare was replaced by Keet in the 40th minute, while AmaZulu's Ekstein was replaced by Mondli Mbanjwa at halftime. The win cemented AmaZulu's fourth place in the Betway Premiership, while Durban City FC secured a respectable eighth position.
